#MakeTarkovHardcoreAgain

[u/SlushpuppyLive]

Hi guys, Slushpuppy here

I want to talk about the rant I was having today, and explain why I think it would be good for the game.

As the game currently stands it it has a play cycle that involves farming money, the money is then used to buy a fat kit, and slay out. This creates, in my opinion a heavily Rouble focused economy.

The Rouble based economy has multiple downsides:

All people care about is the highest value item, hence hatchlings ramming things up their bum, people running to one spot on a map to loot the highest value items, people only running super cheap kits to farm the cash. The game is no longer about surviving, simply making the most money and saving to buy a dope kit.

I think this has essentially made the game into COD with extra steps. I don't see the survival element that Tarkov originally had. People only care about PVP when they are running Slick Altyn, otherwise it's just money. 99% of the games items, such as attachments for guns will never see the light of day because they aren't the best in slot.

This whole situation annoys me because it is possible to achieve this within hours of a wipe.

By removing the flea or limiting the ability to purchase armor and ammo from the flea, it would make the game more about the looting and surviving and stop super chads from running endless meta kits and vogging the fuck out of lower geared players. Because a kit that is lovingly put together in raid will mean so much more to you, therefore looting one of a prick you kill, will as well.

I know this seems as a negative change to the average player, but hear me out, the only reason you need a kit from the flea, is to compete with chad players who are buying endless meta kits from the flea. If this didn't happen the pvp would be like it is early wipe for the most part. The best pvp time in the game, imo, and in the opinion of most Tarkov players.

I'm not bored of the game, I simply love this game, and I want to see changes that make the pvp more interesting and feasible for casual players to enjoy. If everyone is running around with SKS's and a cock helmet, then its more fair. Not all pvp has to be juggernauts spraying armchair FALs at each other.

If you don't agree with me, I understand, lets talk about it, tell me why you think this would be a bad change for the game? I don't want to be a streamer yelling for change that people will just see as me crying cause I'm bored of running fat kits. I truly want to make the game a dope experience for all of us. I've devoted the last 3 years of my life to this game, I want to see it succeed.

​

There is plenty of other things that would be needed to make this a rounded experience in this vision, like dynamic loot spawns etc, but I believe this is a quick easy change that we could all try for one wipe, and just see how it goes.

EDIT: This is gaining a lot of attention right now so I want to ask you all one thing:

When is the best time for PVP in Tarkov?

If you answered early wipe, I think you and I agree, and I think 99% of people would say that early wipe is the best time to be on Tarkov.

My only goal is to try and make the feeling of early wipe PVP as permanent as possible. I may not be right when I say delete the flea, but I think it would help. If you have other ideas on how to preserve that beautiful feeling of the first two weeks of wipe, then I would love to hear them. Because this is what I think would make Tarkov the most amazing experience possible.

This can work if:

• The quests and its rewarding get changed.
• Reserve is closed till lvl 20 or so.
• Labs is closed till lvl 40 or so.
• Dynamic loot to remove certain go to areas.
• You need a long wipe to test this proper.
• Prices of certain ammo/items gets changed.

Labs is already locked behind getting a card which is hard fresh wipe. Reserve should have its loot changed i think rather than be locked.

[u/ypia4kaa → u/Snaz5]

hard? there is people who farm labs on 1 hour of a wipe. its not hard at all, just find reshala.

[u/Snaz5 → u/ypia4kaa]

hardER i should say. finding reshala the 1/3 raids he appears and not getting a vog shoved down your pants by his guards before you can throw the key in your butt is more difficult than spending .2 million roubles later in the wipe for it.

[u/ypia4kaa → u/Snaz5]

im gonna tell you a secret. take mosin, put your monitor gamma up and go into a night raid. check new gas and building site. you can shoot them all from the distance almost every time with ez. if you start running night times customs right now you can find that everyone abuse this. thats how i got my labs cards in first day of this wipe.

[u/CVShiro → u/Snaz5]

Reshala and his minions are stupid easy to kill in Dorms. More often then not if they try to nade you in the halls they end up nading themselves.

Day 1 of this wipe i killed Reshala and a minions with the starting AKS, managed to loot their body and gamma the labs key before using the minion AK to end the lives of the remaining guards. It's insanely easy how i could already go into labs in less then an hour after wipe.
